Manage episode 409199459 series 2997443
As we pay homage to the memory of our friend and ex-Scientologist Doug, we also shine a light on the harrowing yet critical issue of global child trafficking, with the guidance of our esteemed guest, Kelly Galindo. Her project "26 Seconds" reveals the often hidden trauma and abuse that festers in the shadows of society, from the unexpected corners of Orange County to the war-torn regions where ISIS preyed on Yazidi and Christian girls. Kelly, a seasoned film professor and director, not only shares poignant stories from her travels across nine countries but also urges us to acknowledge the financial underpinning that fuels this dark industry, often in the very communities we call home.
The episode moves beyond mere statistics, offering a candid exploration of the complexities surrounding the production of Kelly's impactful documentary, "26 Seconds." Kelly imparts the urgency of her work while navigating the entertainment industry's challenging landscape of exploitation and consent, drawing a stark contrast between those who choose to act and the children forced into unspeakable circumstances. This conversation underscores the vital role of passion and empathy in creating films that not only engage and educate but also spur action against such injustices.
In our concluding reflections, we confront the unsettling ties of corruption that can entangle the highest echelons of power, challenging us to become allies in the fight against human trafficking. Kelly recounts her brush with a hate crime and local politics, reinforcing the necessity of lifting our voices for the voiceless. Additionally, we cast a light on the oft-ignored victims of male trafficking, recognizing the bravery of survivors who now advocate for others. Kelly's commitment to this cause, even as she contemplates retirement, inspires a call to action for future generations to carry on this crucial advocacy, ensuring that awareness and change continue to flourish.
